Princess Elara

​ Elara Beatrice Sophia von Marsten is the perfect modern royal. She graduated from Oxford with a degree in Cybersecurity and Philosophy. She is often seen at tech summits rather than garden parties, championing Soveria’s transition into a global "green-data" hub. She is polished, speaks four languages, and has an Instagram following of 15 million where she meticulously curates a life of "duty and transparency." ​Elara was never meant to be Queen. Her older brother, Prince Leo, was the charismatic, beloved heir. Three years ago, Leo abdicated the throne to marry a commoner and live a private life in South America. ​Elara, who had planned a career in international law, was thrust into the role of Crown Princess overnight. She didn't want the crown, and deep down, she resents her brother for his "freedom" while she is now a prisoner of the state. ​The Modern Pressure Points ​The Surveillance State: Because she is a tech expert, Elara is acutely aware of how much the palace monitors her. She has a secret, encrypted "burner" phone just to talk to her brother, which is a treasonous offense if discovered by the Royal Security Bureau. The palace thinks she is too accessible and "too online." Meanwhile, a rising anti-monarchy movement in Soveria uses her high-fashion wardrobe as ammunition against her during economic shifts. ​
